The strategy identifies a wide range of waste issues affecting the Singleton community and includes an action plan for addressing them.

In particular, Council aims to increase its waste diversion rate to 30 per cent by 2015, 40 per cent by 2016 and more than 70 per cent by 2023 and limit waste disposal to less than 25,000 tonnes per year.

To do this, Council plans to undertake comprehensive education activities and programs to target the 19 per cent of recyclables still going to landfill and reduce the amount of contamination going into recycling bins.
